| Reverse description | Central device depicts a figure — likely the king or a deity — standing or enthroned, rendered in a schematic Parthian style, with what appears to be a sceptre or standard. The surrounding field is densely filled with a Greek legend running around the periphery in multiple lines, partially legible due to the irregular flan and die wear. The inscription, typical of Indo-Parthian royal titulature, proclaims the king's epithet of 'Great King' and 'Just.' The style reflects the late Parthian artistic tradition as adapted in the eastern Indo-Parthian sphere. |
